Welcome to this article, which is an in-depth guide to corrugated box printing machines, and if you’re looking for any information about corrugated box printing machines, you’ll find it here. So read on to learn more.
1. What is a corrugated box printing machine?
The corrugated box press machine is a printing equipment that prints the required text, patterns, and other information on the surface of the corrugated box. It generally includes processes such as plate loading, ink filling, embossing, and paper feeding. Carton printing generally includes single printing, slotting/die-cutting printing, printing slotting/die-cutting, box-gluing linkage production lines, etc.
2. What is the principle of a corrugated box printing machine?
When the corrugated box printing machine is working, the text and images are printed on the printing plate, installed on the printing machine, and then the printing machine is operated by a person, and the ink is evenly applied to the text and image on the printing plate. And then directly or indirectly, the image is transferred to corrugated cardboard or carton to make the same printed copy as the printing plate.
3. What are the classifications of corrugated box printing machines?
The corrugated box printing machine has many types, which include flexographic printing machines, printing slotting machines, prepress, linkage production lines, printing mold opening machines, and so on.
4. How to maintain the corrugated box printing machine?
In order to ensure the normal operation of the corrugated box printing machine, daily maintenance is essential and necessary. The daily maintenance of printing presses is an important task in the management of printing equipment.
1) Static maintenance
The static maintenance of the corrugated box printing machine refers to the maintenance of the machine in a static state.
- Establish rules and regulations for machine maintenance.
The maintenance of the offset printing machine should follow the instructions of the machine. Such as regular oil changes, cleaning filters, and regular inspections of machine accuracy.
- Strengthen the maintenance of important components.
Gears, cams, sprockets, rollers, and bearings are the most important parts of the printing machine, and their maintenance should be different from other parts because the change in their precision will affect the final printing quality. The spring is the most used force balance mechanism in the machine. The quality of their work directly determines the precision of the mutual cooperation of the moving parts. The spring must have sensitive elasticity, and the hysteresis and non-recoverable plastic deformation of the spring have a great impact on the spring. If the above problems are found, the spring needs to be replaced immediately.
- Carry out technological transformation and strengthen machine maintenance.
Machine maintenance requires full consideration of the convenience of machine maintenance when designing the machine. However, due to the complexity of the printing press, it is obviously impossible to take every factor into account, and the maintenance of the machine will also change with the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure that is not conducive to machine maintenance without affecting normal work.
2) Dynamic maintenance
The main contents of dynamic maintenance of corrugated box printing machines are:
- Machine readiness check.
Machine readiness can be detected by moving or turning the machine. For example, tools and other items are stuck in the machine; whether the installation position of the printing plate is appropriate, if not, it may cause damage to the printing plate or bring great difficulties to the search rules; whether the installation of the blanket is appropriate, if not, it may cause printing problems. In severe cases, it may cause damage to the blanket or the machine.
- Machine lubrication status.
First of all, you can observe whether the oil circuit of the machine is smooth through the oil label. If the oil level is empty or the oil level is not clear, stop the machine in an emergency and check carefully for oil leakage. Oil leaks from machines are easy to spot but difficult to find out why. For machines such as sliding bearings, low speed is not conducive to lubrication, especially point or low-speed operation has a greater impact on lubrication.
Therefore, before doing this kind of operation, it is best to lubricate the idle machine, which is also the first job that should be done before every project. The oil pump of some machines is driven by the main engine, so at the reversing point, the oil line will not only fail to refuel but will pull the oil line back to the fuel tank, which is very dangerous, so the reversing point should be avoided. The lubrication of some important parts can also be detected by the temperature of the metal attached to it. If the temperature is too high, there is a problem with the lubrication.
